I am trying to figure out my next brew which will most likely be after my Pliny the Elder kit and before my DFH 90 Minute Clone. I just ordered my malt extract but I had a lot of grains left over so I decided not to order any specialty grains. I am trying to formulate a good reciped but I wanted to come in here and find out what you guys would do with the ingredients I have. I am looking for a really good and hoppy IPA. Here are the ingredients I currently have:

Its a wide array of crystal....should be pretty complex. Janets Brown has 1.25lbs of Carapils and 1.25 lbs of Crystal 40 and its an amazing beer. So its sorta loosely based on that.

I put this grain bill in Hopville. It calculated to be 1.082 OG and 1.021 FG which seem a little high for this style. Is that Ok considering how much hoppier this is going to be than a regular American Brown Ale. I was also thinking the extracts are going to ferment out further than that.

I wouldn't expect it to ferment out much more than that. Extract has a tendency to end a little high anyway and add in all that crystal...

Weird someone was telling me that the Briess DME ferments out really well. Anyways how would you set up this recipe?

I think the recipe is fine, and it might go lower than 1.022, but with all those hops, even if it doesn't I think you'll be fine.
